WESTPORT — Tuesday’s election elevated newcomer Nancy Rioux to the School Committee and sent incumbent Michael Sullivan down to defeat. Rioux took 1,171 votes to Sullivan’s 990, edging out challenger Christopher Parker in the process. Parker received 1,025 votes.

Rioux took 36.69 percent of the vote, with Parker getting 32.11 percent and Sullivan bringing up the rear, with 31.02 percent.

The composition of the Board of Selectmen remains unchanged. Incumbents Steven Ouellette and Antone Vieira Jr. retained their seats with vote totals of 1,982 for Ouellette and 1,757 for Vieira. Challenger and former Selectman Richard Tongue garnered 1,621 votes.

That made the percentage spread at selectman fairly tight, with Ouellette getting 36.82 percent of the vote, Vieira getting 32.64 percent and Tongue drawing 30.11 percent.

Both override questions went down to defeat.

The first asked voters to approve an additional $500,000 in real estate and personal property taxes to fund the Capital Stabilization Fund for fiscal 2014. It was defeated in a landslide, with 2,204 voters against the override and 1,061 voters for it, a 2-to-1 margin.

The second question didn’t fare any better, losing 2,341-1,190. That question asked voters to allow the town to assess an additional $949,465 in real estate and personal property taxes to fund the operating budgets for the town and the school system. The school system would have received $557,939 of that amount, with the remainder going into the town side of the budget.

Question 2 was rejected by 66.30 percent of the voters, with only 33.70 percent voting yes.

Turnout was 31.52 percent, or 3,587 out of the town’s 11,380 registered voters.
